KitchenAid appliances

KitchenAid is one of the most iconic American appliance brands, best known for its legendary stand mixer. The brand's history began in 1919 when the Hobart Manufacturing Company introduced the H-5, the first electric stand mixer for the home. Legend has it that a company executive's wife remarked, 'I don't care what you call it, it's the best kitchen aid I've ever had,' effectively naming the brand.

Today, KitchenAid maintains a significant manufacturing presence in the United States, with a major production facility in Greenville, Ohio, which has been the heart of stand mixer production for decades. However, as the brand expanded into major appliances like refrigerators, dishwashers, and ovens, its production footprint has grown. These larger units and certain smaller appliances may be manufactured in various global facilities owned by its parent company, Whirlpool Corporation, including sites in the US, Mexico, and China.

Since 1986, KitchenAid has been owned by the Whirlpool Corporation. Under Whirlpool's stewardship, KitchenAid has evolved from a single-product brand into a full-suite provider of premium kitchen tools, maintaining its reputation for durability, classic design, and vibrant color palettes. It remains a staple in both amateur and professional kitchens worldwide.
